[QUOTE="boondocks, post: 1222420, member: 20599"] Backhoe, I used to think seatbelts were just for the safety of the wearer. Then a few years ago, I got a bad phone call at midnight: my aunt, uncle, and two cousins had been hit head-on. They were coming around a corner on a country road, and a young driver in a truck slid into their lane on the wet road. There was a guard rail on their side, so they had no where to go and hit head-on. (The driver at fault was traveling at a high rate of speed). Three of my 4 family members involved were seriously injured (one critically so, and took many years to recover). My young cousin was primarily injured by my uncle, who was in the back seat with him but not wearing a seat belt. On impact, he became a projectile and seriously injured the young boy, rupturing his spleen. among other injuries. I had never thought about that aspect of it... [/QUOTE]
